World Court After Justice

As a private citizen who gets no funding from the Buck foundation, or my Government, I have put my life on the line. I know the Russians read this blog, because it is uncanny how I get it right, post after post, year after year. I am conducting a propaganda campaign.

“They can’t say that this is just a political issue or propaganda because we are bringing this case in Russian courts, under Russian law. We’re going to Moscow, to their territory, to their courts, and to their jurisdiction,” Darwish said.

We’re going to Moscow, to their territory, to their courts, and to their jurisdiction,” Darwish said.
